TECH

Our 34mm wide AM728 rims have become our most popular asymmetric product thanks to its versatility. The 28mm inner width offers a wide and stable tire profile for your enduro tires, without becoming square-edged. You can easily get away with running 2.2’s or 2.5’s, but 2.3” - 2.4” tires are the sweet spot. The EN version has an extra wrap of 3k carbon fiber around the nipple bed, and reinforced sidewalls support G-Out forces, and increased rim stiffness, increasing suitability for aggressive riders over 200 pounds.

More air volume, a wider stance, and the bead seat retention system will keep your tires in place on race day and provide an incredibly solid tubeless platform. Wheel stiffness is further increased with a deep profile, allowing for cornering and charging through rough terrain with more speed and confidence than ever before.

Zack : Upgrade to LB rims after raving review from fellow riders and wasn't disappointed. Rims stayed true despite 2 crashes, with 1 puncturing the tyres even with an insert. Patient and prompt superb service as I went for a custom wheelset with DT240EXP and upgraded 54T. Looking forward to my next wheelset for a new project

HI This would be for a Shimano hub. How would I go about purchasing, what would price be and what would the timing be on this? Looks like a J bend hub wheel would ship in 1-2 business days, how would this compare. Mike

Hi. I'm looking at the dt swiss 240s hubs for a build. Can you supply them set up for a 20mm front axle on the 100mm width hub (no boost), and how much extra would it be to upgrade to the 36 or 54 tooth star ratchet?


Light-Bicycle 2016/09/26

Hello Ed, Thanks for your inquiry. Currently, only front 15mm TA/ rear 12*142mm TA are available. You can buy an adaptor to convert the front hub. Does that work for you? Or you can buy the rims only and build the wheels at your local shops also. Thanks, Light-bicycle

Rene 2016/08/17

hi i have these rims with boost hubs and i would like to mount a 2,8 tire (schwalbe nobby nic), ist that posible or i need a wider rim, if i need a wider rim i need a 40/33,6 is enougth? or i will need a plus rim, is a ibis HD3 plus farme but suports only 2,8


Light-Bicycle 2016/08/18

Hello Rene, Thanks for your inquiry. The recommend tires width for AM728 are 2.1''-2.7''. If you like to mount a 2.8'' tire, then go with the EN733. It will work with 2.3''-3.1'' tires well. And 40mm width is much wider and stronger. Thanks, Light-bicycle
